I have some powder, one should be 780 and one should be 6.5 Staball. Can't remember which is which, can someone that has both tell me which has bigger spherical kernels?

Thanks
I can’t tell by size, but the StaBall has a silvery shine to it (tin?) while the 780 is dull black.

I won’t scold you for not leaving them in the original containers…Whoops! Just did😜

So StaBall is never going to be sold in the European Union. The EU effectively banned tin dioxide as a copper reducer in gunpowder in 2015. And yes he’s a fool.

Non-Toxic De-coppering Agent for Lead-Free Ammunition
New / patented de-coppering concept based on bismuth compounds  more effective + ten times less toxic than tin dioxide
StaBall is less dense than 780.
